Rooster & Rice

This is the fifth location for the expanding mini-chain, which got its start in the Marina district of San Francisco. The latest expansion follows the merger of Rooster & Rice with another local Thai place, Chick'n Rice, that was focused on the same popular chicken-based street food, khao mun gai, according to Eater SF.

In fact, that's about all Rooster & Rice serves: poached chicken over rice, garnished with cucumber and cilantro, and served with a fresh chili, ginger, garlic and soybean sauce. Sure, there are some tweaks you can make. Exchange brown rice for jasmine white rice, for example, or go vegetarian with a tofu version. (You can check out the full menu here.)

The facilities boast a basketball court, indoor pool, whirlpool spa and sauna, and there's free WiFi, too. Personal training and a dedicated "Kids Klub" are on offer, as well.

Miniboss is a new bar and arcade that's located at 52 E. Santa Clara St.

Miniboss recently took over the vacant Toons Piano Bar nightclub in Downtown, according to Eater SF. The space boasts a cocktail lounge and restaurant, in addition to more than 30 vintage arcade games, like Street Fighter and Tron, among others.

For libations, expect to see an assortment of craft cocktails, like Sunset Rider with Urapan Charanda Blanco, red bell pepper and grapefruit; Like This and Like That with vodka, passion fruit and prosecco; or a rotating selection of boozy slushies.

The bar's food menu comes from next-door Asian fusion eatery, SuperGood Kitchen, which is also our next new featured business to check out in San Jose.
